To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

This is a tumblr for billytea. Maybe he knows all that stuff already, and just wants to refresh his memory and revisit old times. Fucking moray eels fuck.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Hey, Gud, if you see this, can you offer a Beltonie's opinion on where this house is, school districts? My friends are seriously thinking about making an offer on this, and I'd love to have your insider townie viewpoint: [link]

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Oh, I like that. I did not actually know about the moray eel's pharyngeal jaws (though I did know about the isopod that parasitises fish's tongues, and there's a career option few people really consider). Bookmarked!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I hear ya, Kathy. I am starting a more strict regimen today, as I weighed myself this morning and saw 182 on the scale. That is a LOT for someone five foot three, I tell you what and is the most I've ever weighed. Apparently, eating chocolate all day is not the way to a more healthy weight. Go figure.

Good luck on the job, flea!

I went to bed a little early last night, but the end of DST made it not-so-hard to get up at 5:30 so I could go to the gym. So now I am exercised, with pleasantly sore arms from lifting weights, and showered and fed.

The down side will be leaving the office in almost full darkness, boo. Still, I like getting some light in the mornings, although it'll still be too dark to run at 6 AM until February or March. Sigh.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I love DST. It's not-DST that kills me. I'm only partially conscious in the morning, and I'm fine with being partially conscious in the dark. One year during the energy crisis we got double DST, which was lovely. It doesn't actually save much energy, though.

In the isopod spirit, I give you the giant isopod: [link] These things range worldwide over the deep sea floor.

Last week it was still basically dark in Cincinnati at 8am, so I am very glad of the time change. I note that which edge of the time zone you live on, and whether you are a morning or an evening person, makes a huge difference in your opinion of this phenomenon. As I am a morning person, full dark until 8am is very hard for me.

I don't have any use for the morning! I don't think it matters if I'm a morning person or not. Five days a week, it's spent getting ready for work, driving to work, being at work. I'm increasingly greedy of what light I can grab after the end of the work day, since it's elastic unlike the start.

Yes! So much this. In the winter, I just feel like the day is over when I get home and it's dark. And cold. I just have to hunker down until it's over.
